Forbidden Mountain

CHAPTER 10

The POV Gilang

I wanted to continue on but was still afraid that the ghost climbers were still waiting for me there, so I decided to stay here first until they were really far away and not come back here again.

"I'm really running away from earlier, it's a ghost is not tired ya" I talk to myself.

I just sit behind this tree and wait for the right time to go back on my journey to find my other friends.

"I think it's safe, I'm going to continue looking for my other friends" I monologue.

I walked back through the darkness of the forest through a long and quite sick thatch when it hit my legs, but I had to stay and save my four best friends.

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't brought them here, none of this would have happened, had we been horrified by Grandma's words and had been on holiday elsewhere, surely we are having fun enjoying the day off" I continue to condemn my stupidity and even endanger my four best friends.

I will make amends for all my mistakes, I will continue to search for them and I promise I will bring them down from this mountain safely even if life is at stake, I made them become like this in pursuit of the ghost of the climber who out of nowhere.

Suddenly the wind blew fiercely against my body and along with it came out white smoke that out of nowhere its origin, the smoke continued to approach towards me, and out came the figure of grandfather in white clothes he approached me.

"My grandson, I am your great-grandfather don't be afraid" he said as he continued to approach me.

While I kept retreating because I was afraid that he was an evil ghost just like the ghost of the climber who chased me from earlier.

"Let's see, son, grandfather is your great-grandfather, grandfather can help you" said the grandfather again.

But I still don't believe him because on this mountain there are so many evil creatures that thirst for death, I fear that he will take me to his realm and make me one of them.

"Don't be afraid, look at this necklace" while showing the necklace around his neck.

"Grandfather" I asked still can't believe.

"Grandfather is your great-grandfather son" he said convincingly.

"No way, go you" I kept trying to get away.

"Watch this necklace, do you not recognize it" he said as he continued to hold the necklace on

her neck.

I looked at the necklace and it was like I had seen it but I don't know where I saw it yet.

"I don't know" I answered tightly even though I looked like I'd seen it.

"Remember my granddaughter, surely you will remember" she continued to reassure me.

I looked back at the necklace and kept watching who knew I might recognize it, and after I saw it clearly I just remembered that the necklace was exactly the same as the necklace used by grandma, I know because from my little grandmother never took that necklace off her neck, grandma said it was a hereditary inheritance necklace from our family.

"That's the necklace Grandma was wearing, why is it on you" I asked the grandfather.

"Because I'm your great-grandfather, all our families have this necklace" he explained.

"Yes cu, I'll help your trouble, I'll help you'" he offered help.

"Surely grandfather can help me" I said while sparkling because there is hope to get out of this mountain.

"Yes cu, grandfather can help you to get out of this mountain of prohibition" he explained again.

I'm a little relieved that my grandfather can help me and I'll get out of this mountain soon and also be able to help Andi, Sasa, Heni and Anton.

"Please take me and my friends out of this mountain cake, I beg you" I said to the old man so he would help me.

"I can help you but not with your friends" said the grandfather.

I was immediately shocked when I heard the words of my great-grandfather why they could not help my friends even though they also needed help from the grandfather.

"Why not with my friends, what because they are nobody grandfather so grandfather does not want to help them" I spoke a bit screaming in annoyance.

"It's not so funny, grandfather will explain, your friends are not natives here, they are foreigners, who can get out of this mountain are only the original people of this village and its descendants" grandfather explained with a grim face.

"Why can it be like that" I asked again.

"The foreigners who have gone up to this mountain they will never be able to come out again, because this mountain is guarded by many fine creatures who thirst with a tumbar, he said, like the ghosts of climbers who continue to chase you and your friends they are also victims of this mountain, they are lost because of the actions of the guards of this mountain, until they die of hunger on this mountain, he said, they are indeed dead, but their souls remain here and look for friends" grandfather explained at length about this mountain of prohibition.

"What is the reason that this mountain is called the mountain of prohibition" I asked the grandfather.

"Right, because whoever comes will never be able to leave" the grandfather added.

"Then why the climbers are looking for friends, were they not human as we were" I kept asking because I was still curious.

"They are assigned by the ruler of this mountain to find friends, they are in the lure after getting their soul friends will be calm because there is a substitute" he continued.

"Then how the fate of my friends cake" I gave to the grandfather.

"They won't get out unless only a miracle can help them" he replied.

It seemed like grandfather also felt sad for not being able to help them look from his expression.

"Let's cu, come grandfather out of here, this place is not safe for you and also very dangerous for you, lest you be the next victim" he asked.

"But how fate my friends cake, they also have to get out of this mountain" I also thought about the fate of my friends.

"Grandfather has explained everything they won't be able to get out" he replied lightly.

"No cake, I don't want to leave them" I refused his invitation.

"Come on, grandfather time is not much you have to get out of this mountain as soon as possible" he continued to force.

"Once again sorry cake, I can not leave my friends just like that, I brought them here, I take responsibility for their safety, they said, so whatever happens I will keep looking for them and will take them out of this mountain" I said aloud.
